Thanks to a partnership between Big White Ski Resort and Elevation Outdoors, up to five Kelowna-area youth from disadvantaged backgrounds will learn how to mountain bike this summer.

In July 2018, Big White Ski Resort hosted the first Big White Invitational Slopestyle event. It was one of the stops on the Freeride Mountain Biking World Tour, the official international circuit of both amateur and professional riders - and the only FMB World Tour Gold Event in North America, giving our Canadian and British Columbian athletes a chance to compete on home ground for the first time. The Gold Event featured 30 of the world's best slopestyle athletes battling it out for a wildcard spot to Joyride at Crankworx Whistler. We also hosted a Bronze Event, allowing incredible up-and-coming local talent to join the scene and earn a chance to ride with the pros.

We're a week out from the biggest event of the summer at Big White Ski Resort, and the course for the Big White Invitational Slopestyle is nearly finished. Austin Davignon, Alexander Chisholme and Dustin Gilding of LOFT Bike Parks first set foot at Big White on May 7 with snow still on the ground at the future site. They were joined shortly after by the newest addition to the team, Corbin Selfe.

Last weekend, Bike Big White was proud to host its first-ever Enduro race event. Fresh-cut trails, rugged alpine drops, and sprawling big mountain views blew away spectators and competitors alike.

Bike Big White opened today, with hundreds of downhill mountain bikers flocking from across British Columbia to test out North America’s newest bike park.

Big White is excited to welcome back our building partners at Alpine Bike Parks along with the Big White Trail Crew who are patiently waiting to get up on the mountain and continue cutting trail.
